Text1.Text = Replace$(Text1.Text, "old word", "new word")

To read from the text file, try this:

Open "yourtextfile" For Input As #1
Line Input #1, ReadStr
Close #1

you will probably need to read each line into an array.

Try taking these examples and adding them to your code or start a new project so you can test them and see how they work. This is just about the only way to learn and understand VB.
